Editing Progress

Our Editing Technique

While editing our final piece for As Media we sectioned our skills into groups so we edited individual areas so the overall video was edited by our best people in each section.

My role in editing was "Clip Adjustment" and "Overall layout", this means my role is in the early and final sections of editing. For editing I have to import, crop, arrange, lengthen and edit the clips.

Ben focused on sound editing for this he edited the sound quality, dialogue timings and mainly sound track creating, editing and placement. This lead to him working during the middle stages of production so that he could correctly format the soundtrack into the story with correct fading.

Luke's role in editing was director based with him overlooking and guiding in all aspects of editing, he focused on the "big picture" and how the film played out scene by scene as well as a whole.

Week One

During the first week we have edited the main section of our film intro but have yet to create the soundtrack or insert ether of the Vlog and character intro pictures. We have edited; the intro scene and master shot as well as the main block of dialogue we have filmed and the final chase scene.

I feel that during our first week of editing it has gone smoothly, other than some early technical difficulties with importing the clips, we have had few problems and we feel that the combined clip we have created runs and feels fluent and professional at this given time.

As far as success goes in editing I think the outcome of our first week was good and with our combined skills and abilities we edited quickly, effectively and professionally. I feel that due to our section based style of filming, in which we filmed in scene in blocks, the smoothness of each scene was greatly improved and editing the clips to run well was easier due to that.

Week Two

In the second week of editing we had fully edited the main section of our film opening including the; chase, dialogue, intro and climax, we also added and mainly edited the "Vlog" section in which Toby , the protagonist, tells the views a confusing, yet insightful look into the later stages of the film and helps them to connect with Toby.

We had no problems with the uploading process during this week as we learned how to format the files so they wouldn't incorrectly upload. We also had very little problem in the editing, only that of difficult cuts which we fixed in little time.

This week the Pro's outweighed the Con's as the clips, although some where difficult, worked well and played off each other effectively, this lead to quick editing.

Week Three

This week we have edited the soundtrack into that of our film opening, this completes our opening. The soundtrack that we created plays very well in our opening, after the normal cutting, trimming and rearranging.

As far as importing and placing the sound we had no real problems and the track seemed to placed effortlessly over the film.
